Religion is a creation of man. End of story. No I'm not atheist. Yes, I believe in god and the power of prayer. I believe 'church' doesn't have to be in a sacred temple, and no, you don't have to 'worship' anything or follow any goofy rituals, and if I recall correctly, Jesus asked his followers NOT to worship him, but to worship god instead; Jesus was just the messenger and would be considered a modern day hippy.
You got it. Real talk: Organized religion is arrogance. I truly believe in the higher power, but I’m also fully aware of my human limitations. With a God as omnipotent as he is, pretending to understand him is literally on par with expecting an ant colony to understand how to google something on an IPad....even if you demonstrate it many times.
In short: I’m not arrogant enough to think man can speak for God. I prefer just to listen to him.
I've heard about the Gospel of Thomas - which from how I interpret it, it's basically Jesus saying we create our own heaven here on Earth through our own perception of reality. Hence why I say, today, he would have been considered a modern day hippy, the spiritual type that sit on the beach and mediates and shit. But I'll admit that I never put eyes to it personally, just watched videos of people supposedly reading from it.
I'm not aware of Jesus killing people, would you be so kind to point me into the direction where I can find some information on that?. The Nicene Creed, however, is something that turns me off from church worship all together because I legit feel like hearing it being recited is a bit cult-ish.
However, I don't shit on anyone if they want to go because I recognize that it does good for some people.
All in all, life is an experience, hell only exists in the mind from constantly judging ourselves, we all go back to god when life is over, but I'm not a theology expert, I just follow my own intuition and try to live my life with more peeks and less valleys.
The denomination of types of "Christianity" is to cause division.
Didn't the Jews have two different groups during the time of Jesus? Sadducees and Pharisees? History shows but no one listens.
I know I want to break that division
IMO, Christianity is never about going to church. It is about following the word of Christ. Loving your neighbors.
My concern about Churches is the pastors and priests. Who gave them authority? Wolf in sheep clothing. Who do they think they are to be one close to God? Remember, these guys come from "Christian" schools. Pampering new pastors. IMO.
Can the masses not be able to read? Do we need guidance from someone when we can make our own discernment, observation, and judgment? IMO.
Churches are erected all across the US for tax exemption status, IMO.
Ur right this is actually the reason I never wanted be a pastor. But change is coming were taking it back
The church is for the Community. A place that is welcoming with open arms regardless of being a sinner. Didn't Jesus say to the group of an angry mob to cast the stone unto the adulterer if no one had sinned? Jesus gave us a second chance. Just like God was merciful, just like his son being merciful.
Take it back by rebuking the churches and reclaim the community. Love thy neighbor.
We are were gonna lead from here
Online church sounds revolutionary.
It is we no hold truth God and church soon
Were changing the world
GreatAwakening moderating an inter-denominational dialogue among Christians?
there's an interesting notion.
Interesting to u how
The Bible proves itself.
There are a lot of religions and our Father knows every heart. It isn't up to us to judge a person's salvation but to point THE Way. It is not uncommon that many religions have the same stories. God's people traveled and they took His story...with them.
I know that I know that I know because I researched the words, the meanings, secular and Christians books. I only have a piece of the puzzle, but what I know is solid.
Examples: Eve never ate an "apple". The Bible never says there were three magi. Why did the blind man say- “And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.” Did you know that the pitch of Noah's ark means, "atonement"? It was pitched inside and out-fully covered. Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, millions or billions of years in-between. There was a destruction and a "remaking".
There is so much "life" in the Word. Many study Q, all the double meanings, etc. The Bible is not unlike that. There aren't as many inaccuracies as you would think. The Dead Sea Scrolls prove that the Bible is very accurate. Yes there are some errors.
I wonder why the Book of Esther never speaks God's name-though His name is there if you know where to look. Believe it or not, it is backwards. I wonder why.
I used to throw my Bible across the room (I really did) because it made no sense to me. Then my eyes were opened. I get so excited at all the "proofs"--like so many do with Q proofs. Don't get my wrong, Q intrigues me because of the Bible. So many of you do an outstanding job with the posts. Thank you.
I hope you will look again and see the Living Word that it is.
My Christianity comes down to this: Don’t be a shitty person.
GOLDEN RULE I like it

Jesus walked the earth. Face it and accept it. To be a Christian you must live through Christ and follow sound doctrine. It's no different than being an American and living by the Constitution. God blessed us with this land so we may spread his word far and wide while wearing his armor.
Amen but I'm trying to start a discussion I need more
